Abstract

In the setting of the integers, Granville, Harper and Soundararajan showed that the upper bound in Hal\'{a}sz's Theorem can be improved for smoothly supported functions. We derive the analogous result for Hal\'{a}sz's Theorem in Fq[t]\mathbb{F}_q[t], and then consider the converse question of when the general upper bound in this version of Hal\'{a}sz's Theorem is actually attained.
